Abstract
This thesis will examine the Department of Defense
Planning System, past, present, and one of the many alternatives
proposed for the future. Emphasis will be placed on the
impact the present planning system has on near-term warf ighting
capabilities. The present system, centered in the
Pentagon, has a time horizon of 5 to 15 years. Emphasis is
placed on planning future programs and addressing outyear
costs and capabilities; near-term warfighting capabilities may
not receive the attention necessary to achieve current combat
readiness. It is the contention of this thesis that in
conjunction with reforms implemented to enhance the responsibility
and authority of the unified and specified commands,
the resource allocation process must also be changed to
provide this level of management direct control of resources to meet the acquisition and operational needs necessary to
achieve mission objectives.
